Teams-for-linux: Debian package uses deprecated gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0

[jpiautinity]

Describe the bug
Installing the .deb package under debian testing (bullseye) or stable (buster) fails due to not installable dependency to gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0 .
libgnome-keyring is deprecated and it's use strongly discouraged [1]; hence gir1.2-gnomekeyring1.0 was removed in debian buster.
The debian and GNOME teams recommend using libsecret/gir1.2-secret-1 [2] instead.

I am reporting this as a bug as version 0.4.0 does not require gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. use either debian buster/stable or debian bullseye/testing
2. dpkg --install teams-for-linux_0.6.0_amd64.deb
3. apt --fix-missing install
4. Get error message that gir1.2-gnomekeyring-1.0 is not installable

Expected behavior
No deprecated libraries should be used.

Desktop

• OS: Debian GNU/Linux
• Installation package: teams-for-linux_0.5.0_amd64.deb, teams-for-linux_0.6.0_amd64.deb
• Version: 0.5.0 and later

Hi @jpiautinity , Thanks for reporting! Its probably one of the package.json version updated. I will see if/when I can have a look at it, but not sure if I can do much from the electron side of things.

Seems to be fix in here:

unfortunately, waiting for an extra release, so blocked for the moment.
Seems to be electron-builder

Seems like 21.2.0 fixes this issue. building now and it should go to snap --edge channel... so hopefully doesn't breaks anything and I can ship it in the next release.

[IsmaelMartinez]

I just done a pre-release in here so you can test it.
https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/releases/tag/v0.6.7

Once confirmed, I will start preparing the proper release docs, etc.

[jpiautinity]

I just installed 0.6.7 and can confirm that the dependency has been removed and that everything installs fine now.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

I have the same problem, running Debian Buster. Installing 0.6.7 works with a warning about "glitchpeg.desktop":

Hi @jlfranklin , That looks more like you got another desktop application called glitchpeg (https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/disco/man6/glitchpeg.6x.html) installed but that desktop file got a new line character in it.

I don't think is related to this issue nor to teams-for-linux. Thanks.

[jlfranklin]

Hmm.. indeed. dpkg reports that file comes from xscreensaver-data-extra. Sorry for the noise.
